My new old friend

One very special friend is Sister Doris from my church. (And no, she's not a nun nor my sister, although she is my sister in Christ!)

She is one very sweet, thoughtful and interesting 90-something year old woman. I always enjoy her company whenever I have the opportunity to pop in for a visit.

This past Friday, I stopped by to say hello. And guess what she likes to watch on TV on Friday nights?

WRESTLING!!!

I kid you not. Isn't that a hoot? I wonder if she was also a fan of the Von Erich's back in the old days. Back when wrestling was REAL, y'all. :snort:

Awww... I just love her. She is very fun to talk with and full of surprises!

Is there anyone in your neighborhood or church that you could befriend? Don't be shy! This is one of those things where it really is more blessed to give than to receive. You always get back sooo much more than you give.

There are a couple of people in my life just like that! It is amazing how much you can learn from someone who has been here way longer than you. And, as far as the wrestling on Friday nights... my grandma (79) watches too! She thinks it is all real, though. What is it with these sweet ladies??? LOL!!!

Marsha,I know this is totally not the point of your post, but you just took me down memory lane! I LOVED the Von Erich's when I was a kid. My crush on Kevin was the real deal! LOL My barbies "dated" the Von Erich brothers. I just goggled their picture and they aren't as attractive as I remember them being! :P Thanks for the flashback!

A lot of the time I would rather be with the older people I know. We are very close with our neighbor who is in his 70's. He lives alone except with his dog and has become sort of a grandpa to us. We are hoping that he will become saved soon and me and my siblings have tried talking to him about salvation. I think he is open to it, so we are just praying for him!

I know this is off topic but I need your help. I know you often suggest other blogs or sites that have cute ideas for gifts. Well, I need you to suggest some again please! I need help finding my mom a bday gift and I'm stuck. You're always full of great ideas! Thanks Marshie!
